Discover the world with a sailboat

How to start? Par où commencer?

Travel, a word, a smile, memories, a passion.

We all have some holidays weeks every year, and for most of us, we find the best destination to spend this so precious time from our point of view. Going for one, two, or three weeks, where we want and/or can afford. Because of the many traveling companies and web site, we can easily find our dream destination, at the best price, said the seller.

The weeks fly, finally our so cool trip arrive, we enjoy as much as we can, and then, as soon as it come, it’s already over. Luckily with a good camera we have made a lots of pictures and we can make this feeling of happiness last longer.

Then the routine start again, work, subway, sleep. Until the next holidays.

But this kind of travel is just a mask, we only touch this new country where we are walking . This kind of trip doesn’t allow us to discover a new country, new culture. Because by staying in hotels full of tourists, we will meet only tourists, touristic restaurants and sightseeing selfis points.

The real goal of this trip is to run away from our routine life, stressful and restrictive.

The voyage like I tell you about, is another definition of the word. It’s about discovering a coutnry, more or less without time constraint, and be able to follow the road as you want. When you find a nice place, you can stay a few more days or weeks, to discover deeper this place. Or, as the opposite, continue your road if you arrive in a non pleasant place.

This type of travel is also an interior travel, a travel in yourself. As you go alone or with other peoples together, you will have to make choices, and assume them, take decisions and their consequences. If you chose to go with other people’s, with who you spend normally only few hours per week, they will become part of your routine travel life. So you will discover the good and the bad aspects of their personality, but of yourself too.

We all have to make choices but in the end, those choices make us.

In our everyday life, we don’t have to choose a lot of options, and just a few opportunities shows up. Lots of people are “happy” like that. Because the changes, like the unknown make us afraid. But in the end, it’s a false security, and not so much of us are really happy like that.

By going in a unknown place, lots of new choices appear to us, lots of new meeting and discovering happen all the day, everyday.

So to start a travel, we need to have a dream, an idea. But this dream is nothing as long as we don’t do something concrete to start it. As choosing which part of the world attract us, which country, which culture,…
